Wow! I hadn't realized I'd been gone from my blog for an entire year! Thank you to everyone who has been patiently waiting my return. I promise I'll do better. So, here's what's been going on in my life in the past year! I've been slowly (I repeat, slowly!) working on book 10 in the DOTM series and have started Katie in the City a dozen times. Meanwhile, I wrote and rewrote a pilot script for the DOTM series, but alas, that has not taken off and I doubt it will happen any time soon. That is a little disheartening, but it is only not on the back burner for a moment, I will be sending the script out to agents sometime. I want to say in the next few weeks but that would really turn into the next few months, so I'll just say in the next few months.

Other than that, I enrolled in film school last fall and I was sure I'd updated my blog about that, but maybe I hadn't. I think I did post it on my facebook page though. I think there is a link on my homepage to my facebook page.

In other news, I've also been working on a course for people looking to break into background acting, but that is a long way from being finished.

I am going to be writing more adult series and I think I'm going to be using a new name to write those under. I'm thinking Delaney Page. I will have to start a website for Delaney Page unless I can change the name of this one or maybe just add a separate page for Delaney. I want to write my romance novels under a different name than all the books I've written for teens because I've also written a bunch of stuff for smaller kids too and I really want to have the genres separated.

I truly am so thankful for how loyal you guys are! Thank you so much for all the messages asking where I am. I am so anxious now to get back to work on DOTM 10 and for anyone interested--Lance isn't out of the picture yet!!

Also on the backburner (gee, my stove is getting full!) is a Paris book. Paris's book will start when she's 10 or 11 and that will be my new series (still under the name Elizabeth Ann Trigg).

If you guys have any preferences for when the Paris series will start (her age), just leave your ideas in the comments. If you would prefer her series to be when she's a little older, I can do that. I'm still a bit undecided as to how old she'll be. All I do know is her life will be a little hectic with traveling to spend time with her father and stepmom, dealing with her siblings and mother and grandparents and half-sisters at her dad's. Her life is complicated enough, and that's without even mentioning her school life and friends, enemies and frenemies! I am really looking forward to the Paris series!

Okay, now that I'm all fired up again, it's time to get back to work on DOTM 10! I still don't have a working title for that yet. It's changed a dozen times and so for now, it's still just DOTM 10.
